A-2 Workshop | A-2 dance | C-1 dance | C-2 dance | C-3A dance

Friday C-3A Dance

Bill presented a number of calls and concepts that proved to be challenging:

(1) from a formation from infacing lines and having the end belle Quarter Out -- Team Up

(2) from a trade by -- Scatter Circulate

(3) from a tidal inverted line -- Center 4 Start Spin Chain The Line

(4) from infacing lines -- Catch Motivate 2 (have to do a full Motivate)

(5) from magic columns -- Magic Triple Play

(6) from split phantom infacing lines with real dancers as belles of the centers lines and beaus of the outside lines -- Split Phantom Lines Stretch Square Thru 2

(7) from a tidal two-faced line with boys as the center couples -- Initially As Couples, Patch The Boys

(8) from outfacing lines: Split Phantom Lines 3/4 Exchange The Boxes

(9) from a standard 1/4 tag -- Finally As Couples, Scoot & Ramble

(10) from parallelogram left-hand columns with the #1 and #2 dancers in the center box -- Tandem 1/4 Thru

(11) from a double pass thru -- Tandem Stable Pass The Ocean (ends in a tidal column with all dancers facing out from the set)

(12) from a double pass thru -- Tandem Pass The Ocean (ends in a double pass thru)

Saturday A-2 Workshop

ill's theme was "parts", concentrating on both fractionalizing of calls into parts, and dancers doing their part of specified calls:

(1) from a right- or left-hand box -- Scoot Back 1 & 1/2

(2) from a 1/4 tag -- 3/5 or 4/5 Scoot Chain Thru

(3) from an eight chain thru -- Pass & Roll 3/4

(4) from parallel ocean waves -- Finish Linear Cycle

(5) from parallel ocean waves, a tidal wave, or infacing lines -- Finish Recycle

(6) from a formation from parallel 3-and-1 lines with outfacing centers and ends with left hands toward the center and having the mini-wave dancers Hinge -- Do Your Part: Mini-Wave Dancers Split Counter Rotate; Couple Dancers: Left Turn & Deal

(7) from parallel 3-and-1 lines with infacing centers and end with their right hands toward the center -- Do Your Part: Mini-Wave Dancers Recycle; Couple Dancers (a) Wheel Thru; (b) Belles Walk, Beaus Dodge, or (c) Flutter Wheel. Bill also tried using "Finish A Square Chain Thru" which caused several debated throughout the remainder of the weekend: Is the Quarter In included in the first or second part of the call? To my knowledge, there does not seem to be a consensus among callers regarding this issue.

Saturday A-2 dance

Bill called an interesting dance in which he included calls expanding on his workshop theme:

(1) from a double pass thru or completed double pass thru -- Checkmate The Column

(2) from a facing diamond -- Crossfire

(3) from a trade by -- 8 Chain 1 & 1/2

(4) from any line of 4 -- 1/2 of a Mix

(5) from any line of 4 -- Finish Mix

(6) from a trade by -- Finish Pass & Roll

(7) from parallel ocean waves -- Finish Motivate

(8) from outfacing or infacing lines -- Finish Load The Boat

(9) from parallel 3-and-1 lines with infacing centers and end with their right hand toward the center -- Do Your Part: Mini-Wave Dancers Recycle; Couple Dancers Mini-Busy.

This dance session was primarily a good exercise in concepts and modifications of calls:

(3) from parallel ocean waves -- Finish Motivate

(4) from parallel ocean waves -- Finish Relay The Top
